I’ll give Gap this…they are fast in shutting down a gal’s dream. This came within hours of my sending it off to the big 3 on Friday. I think I will send a follow up letter pointing out that Levi, thanks for the tip arduous, has already managed to create a line of affordable eco-jeans. Are they going to let Levi be the leader? I have to think of some good smack to throw in there. Get a good fight going. Well…here is the actual e-mail sent:

Dear Ms. [Needle],

Thank you for your e-mail and for your suggestion regarding an organic
Gap and GapKids line. At this time, we do not have information
regarding whether these will be an option in the future. We apologize

thoughts with us. We will pass your message along to our merchandising
team, as customer feedback is the most important consideration when

This one came from Banana on Sunday:

Customer Service ConsultantThis is clearly a crying out for more hounding. I have a sneaky suspicion this is their pat response to anything suggested…organic jeans…pants made of cheese. It will take a few more letters for them to take it seriously. If any of you are good at the smack talk…start jotting down some ideas. Get inspiration from some organic moonshine if it helps. Whatever gets me my jeans people! Although…. cheese pants may have their day.

Thanks Cindy. We either need to recruit 500 more people to pester them…or turn the crazy dial up a few notches. I really do think it could happen with enough consumer pressure. If Levi can find a way to make it affordable than the Gap certainly can. Plus…they are so trying to create this image of responsible corporation with their whole RED line, how can they miss the organic boat?
